Stopping the mods...

ProfessorDave · 10-01-2013, 07:58 AM

Like most of the cars I've purchased, I have a mod list in mind right from initial ownership. Then I pick up a couple of ideas from other enthusiasts, but settle down after a couple of years. So my Z has gone without mods for the last year.

I'll keep it until I fall in love with something else. So far, this has been a long love affair by my standards (3+ years). Does that make me a car slut?!

No. The cars are the sluts, except for the Z, which has proved to be girlfriend material

My Z was bought with 90% of the whole build planned. Hell, some of the parts were ordered before I owned a Z. I've picked up a few extraneous dressup items along the way, and I comb the marketplace here for things I wouldn't mind but won't pay retail for. The powertrain was planned out completely. Appearance will always be tweaked a little bit every so often until the Z in my garage looks just like the Z in my mind. Once I get there, I'll just upgrade parts as things wear out. I keep new cars 8-10 years, so I've got a long time to get her just right.
